Pediatric Critical Care Scientist Development Program: The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) issues this initiative in order to support a program of career development awards in pediatric critical care through the Pediatric Critical Care Scientist Development Program (PCCSDP) intended to develop resources to speed the transfer of knowledge gained through studies in basic science to clinical applications that improve the acute care and long-term outcomes for children with serious illness and injury. The PCCSDP will support research career development of pediatric intensivists who have recently completed subspecialty training, and who are commencing basic and/or clinical research relevant to improving outcomes, decreasing morbidity, and minimizing disability in children who are survivors of pediatric critical care. The goals of this initiative are to expand the cadre of investigators trained to advance research in pediatric critical care and to support educational institutions in their ability to stimulate novel research. The intent of the initiative is to stimulate pediatric critical care research in the basic and clinical sciences that will improve long-term outcomes in children who sustain critical illness and/or injury.
